BTW just in case its unclear...we already have term limits. If you dont like the current guy recall him if thats possible or vote him out next term.
That is a completely naive statement. There are millions of ways that incumbents have stacked the deck in their favor.
The only federal politician I have a problem with (and it's a big one) is linda graham.
Senators cannot be recalled. And she just won the pubbie primary by using her six million dollar warchest.
IMHO, politicians should not be allowed enough time in Washington to build up a multi-million dollar campaign slush fund.
If they are term limited, it would reduce the need for $$.
Again, IMHO, 12 years in Wash DC is plenty.
Personally, I'd like to see a restriction that says if you've held public office, you can't ever go to work for a lobbying firm. But I suspect that would trample on personal rights.
